FTP: From the Pavilion general chat

[Iridium]

Looks like FTP has started boning me as well

Yea, but I'm losing matches with in theory I shouldn't. Your match rating was around 8k lower than your opponents so you were up against it anyway.

 

[aussie1st]

Just scored 495 with one guy getting 257. Only happy moment this season

A Walk with Mr.ftp | Webupon

Me : Batting, Technique, Endurance, Power, Bowling, Keeping, Fielding, Captaincy, Talents, Experience, Fatigue, Form : Out of this which is the most under-estimated by the FTP users?
Ashario : Probably endurance, fielding and power. Tough to split them.

...

Me : Do you think sacrificing bit of fielding and strenthening primary skills is good?
Ashario : I’ve always wondered why so many people ignore training fielding

...

Me : reli/wclass/wclass/avg/reas or outs/spec/spec/spec/accom(End/bat/tech/pow/field)?
Ashario : The second, by a distance.

Overall message from Ash - train your secondaries

 

[aussie1st]

Could have used that when I started I'm starting to take more notice of that stuff now.

 

[AngryPixel]

Wow. That interview had some good points..
Another point to remember :

Me : Do you agree that crumbling , sticky and flat are lucky pitches? ( i.e minimises the effect of match ratings difference)

Ashario : yes

Managed to score 259 from my 20 overs, playing 6 youth team members, 4 'A' team members, and only 1 first XI player. Mangan continued his amazing Senior T20 form with 118 off 57 balls to keep his average above 100.

My latest pull though got hammered for 60 runs off his 4 overs.

Baddewithana and Kallichuran have taken 2 wickets, and we're gonna beat them by over 100 runs by the looks of it

Had a bot match today. Bowled Rotongaro out for 48, which is the exact same score I bowled them out for the first time we played. This time we only won by 9 wickets instead of 10. Patrick Garrick had astonishing figures of 3/1 from 2 overs.

Still second on the ladder however. I'll have to beat Tempest to have a shot at the top spot.

 

[Tarzan]

Placed unexperienced team... 5 from youth teams and rest are new...

But still managed to restrict to 138/9 in 20 ovrs... This is human controlled team...
